I wouldn't be so sure this time around.
The world is a big uncertainly and the force in Europe for digital sovereignty is something I never seen before.
The initiative to protect Europes boarders and data information is justified.

This attempt is about freeing themselves from an abusive unprincipled data-hungry big data monopoly operating in a fascist country and in cahoots with the regime.

Fuck. That's like going straight from English breakfast tea to hash oil.

The digital dependence on the US is much like the energy dependence on Russia.
Europe is ditching Russian energy. They may ditch US tech.
I don't know about the whole Europe but Spain is buying more energy from Russia than before the war and sanctions.
Don't get me wrong, I hope that would be the case but Europe is also Corporativist.
The European Union regulates the market so much it's hard to call it capitalism, the biggest european companies are basically EU projects like Airbus (every government funds it) or too big too fail like Siemens and/or they would use: "strategic industry" and be done with it.
Edit oh and I almost forgot it, or they are like Inditex, basically not European it's just an European getting rich while exploiting poor people all around the world, but I think this is actually capitalism and that guy isn't exactly appreciated by ruling dictator, I mean party, in Spain.

As they article points out it's all maskerading by the fact that they heavily increased the import in 2023 and now is "reduced"
Spain is now the second-largest importer of Russian gas in Europe
Spain Is Now The Second-largest Importer Of Russian Gas In Europe Keep up with the Latest News In English Murcia Costa Calida Spainmurciatoday.com
Thank you for the article. It brought up something quite interesting that i wasn't aware off before:
But why does Spain rely so heavily on Russia despite the almost global disapproval? The answer lies in this country’s extensive regasification capacity, which stands at 67.1 bcm - the largest in all of Europe. This enables Spain to receive LNG shipments on behalf of other countries that lack the necessary infrastructure, making it a critical hub for European energy trade.
looking a bit into it i found this article:
rbac.com/spains-role-as-a-natu…
So it seems that Spain is also taking the flak here for other EU countries that want to profit from Russian gas but not be directly associated with it.

Bruselas defiende la legalidad del veto al gas ruso ante dudas de importadores como Naturgy y Repsol
It looks like the problem are the contracts. They could go faster breaking the contracts? Yes. But it's Naturgy and Repsol, both private, not the government. Or are you suggesting that the government has to do a take over of the energy enterprises? 😉

First you doubt the claim. Then you attack the source, now you find excuses.
Did they or didn't they increase almost 200% the acquisition of energy from Russia in 2023? Is the Russian Federation a major provider of gas and oil for Spain (and other European countries) or not?
If you notice I am here only to point the hypocrisy of Europe, which they undoubtedly are and Spain is no different.
I don't know if you work for a company with business in Russia, I did when this whole thing started and contracts didn't matter much when sanctions came but I guess we weren't big enough to make excuses.
You gave your sources and I gave you mine. And sadly I'm not working.
About the hypocrisy of the Union and the Spanish government, I know both have a truckload of it. But to each its own. The main problem are Naturgy and Repsol. And yes, the Spanish government should grow some balls and tell them to stop at one. But there aren't balls enough in this government to do the right thing.
[Some*] Europeans just can’t get over their Arab and Muslim-hate despite neither Qatar nor Saudi Arabia posing any threat to Europe and actually being good trading partners. No tariffs, no restrictions, no unfair competition. They adopt many European standards and are a huge market for European goods and services. Yet still the hate is constantly being peddled.
* hopefully a minority but the hate seems to be universal regardless of the political leaning.
Are they democracies? No. Do they respect human rights? Also no.
I don't care as much about them as I care about pointing out the hypocrisy of my people. I have a thing against islam but that has nothing to do with this conversation.

None of what you listed is a viable alternative for a myriad of reasons. Only GNU+Linux can replace Windows.
- Android: a mobile OS first and foremost with very limited usability as a general purpose desktop operating system.
- MacOS: hardware from one vendor only.
- *BSD: more niche with even lesser support than GNU+Linux.
What's wrong with going back to pen and (e-)paper for office? My point is, if you are going to post something in the community, the word "linux" shall at least be in the title.
Good title example: Europe is slowly ditching Microsoft for Linux
It's nobody's fucking business when someone ditching Microsoft, then adopt BSD, Solaris whatnot. What matters to this community is someone adopting or ditching Linux, or they do something remotely related to it.
I don't. This is how it looks like on my Voyager.
Point is (again), it takes zero effort to cross post a video or article here. Windows is historically having a high market share ratio, and people are migrating to Linux nowadays. That's good news to the Linux world. Even someone merely mentioning ditching Windows has an implication of adopting Linux instead.
But what if more and more posts implying this by only mentioning how bad Windows is? Is this a community for Windows circlejerk, or do we share informative stuff that's directly related to Linux? How about we share more article about how great Linux is (or can be), instead of how bad the competitors are becoming?
Agree on the Linux. You do not need the GNU though.
Chimera Linux is based in Spain. Maybe use that.
Actually, most of them already do have deals for a limited time. Skype is still available; they needed a new contract since teams does not work without communicating with Microsoft.
OTOH most things they do is via webclient.
If Microsoft was to release a mandatory update that has a single thing that required it to communicate with the organization, by law the whole governmental EU would not be able to use it.
And at the same time we have the Jugendmedienstaatsvertrag in Germany (and with Germany as a strong force in the EU most likely everywhere in the EU soon) that will make all operating systems without fully integrated age restrictions illegal
heise.de/en/news/Minors-protec…
Manufacturers of operating systems must then
ensure that "only apps that correspond to the
age specification or that have been individually
and securely activated can be used". The
installation of programs should only be possible
via distribution platforms such as app stores
that take the age rating into account and have
an automated rating system recognized by the
Commission for the Protection of Minors in the
Media (KJM).
This part of the law alone is impossible to implement on a open platform like Linux.
Minors' protection: State leaders mandate filters for operating systems
According to the revised Interstate Treaty on the Protection of Minors in the Media, operating systems must soon ensure they include a "youth protection device".Stefan Krempl (heise online)
This part of the law alone is impossible to implement on a open platform like Linux.
What makes you think they won't simply make it illegal to use linux?
To make something illegal by law it is needed to have a valid reason for that law to exist.
This is the case at least in every jurisdiction that has a somewhat functional separation of powers.
Due to this can't just make it illegal to use Linux, but with a Law like the Jugendmedienstaatsvertrag it comes as a free bonus.
Since it is impossible to implement on Linux, it may just be flagged as adult-only software.
But, there is still hope. What if Snaps and Flatpaks get properly flagged, allowing Ubuntu and/or Fedora to be legal?
So it is already possible in Windows.
I mean it's impossible on all computers.
Windows should ensure you can only use app-store and make it impossible to install an exe from online as example
MacOS even funnier. If I save a bash script I found online mac is supposed to refuse, unless I am using a vpn that is!
I don't think they will prohibit side loading. This will cause serious issues to developers, and other professionals.
Like, I cannot use the X tool from Github, just because the Y developer refuses to publish it in an organized store?
Since it is impossible to implement on Linux, it
may just be flagged as adult-only software.
This would render Linux unfit for use in Schools, Public Libraries, Youth Centers and other places where Children and Teenagers have access to PCs.
It is, in addition to that, possible that internal regulation of government offices prohibit the use of adult software. Not sure about it, but it would IMHO fit the mindset of bureaucrats
It is in ratification, and will (most likely) become binding law by 1st of December 2025 in Germany

I think that if Linux is to be more widely adopted a more easily used distro needs to become mainstream. Let's face it, the average computer user barely knows how to use Windows, just because you find Linux easy doesn't mean they will.
Do you think you could teach Linux to your grandmother?
Do you think you could teach Linux to your grandmother?
Yes. Set automatic package updates, Install firefox with ublock and put it on the taskbar, and bookmark Facebook and Youtube for her. It is the same thing as under Windows.
I would argue that for the most "tech illiterate" users the Linux experience can be made even easier than the windows experience, because you have to set up everything for them anyways.
Completely "tech illiterate" broser-only users are fine. It gets difficult once they happen to actually want to do something.
I have an older relative in that boat, and she was doing fine until she wanted to install some VPN to access foreign Netflix libraries. That was more difficult. Especially because she already paid for the service and that service didn't support her distro, thus there was no guide on how to use it.
Do you think you could teach Linux to your grandmother?
My 50+ yo mother uses Linux Mint daily with fewer problems that when she used Windows. Her crowning achievement in IT is learning how to use email.
I helped my 93 yo friend switch from Windows 10 to Linux 2 years ago. He called me 3 times in the first 2 weeks to ask how to do something, but hasn't had a single problem since that's related to the OS.
Linux Mint, Bazzite, Fedora, and several other Linux distros are already easier to use than Windows. The only thing holding most people back is fear of change.
There are some people who have specific setups in Windows or a large number of "Windows only" apps, but these people are in the minority. The average person can't even tell you which operating system they're currently using, and wouldn't notice the difference if you swapped the OS but kept the same web browser.
Actually, my mother knew how to use Debian before she could use Windows. Her first pc came with Windows XP, switched that for Debian as its been my main OS since 2000.
Yes, you can teach your grandmother to use Linux.
My mother, 80 years old, uses Linux Mint.
It is a myth that Windows is easier to use than Windows. It is just what you know and it came with your computer.
We already have those. Arguably Windows is much more of a hassle to use than your average "works out of the box" distro. And don't start talking about the terminal, that's comparing apples and organges. A more apt comparison to the need of using the terminal on Linux is the need to apply registry tweaks or use powershell on Windows. As if "average users" would need to do that. They install software via the "app store", change settings via the GUI and run updates when prompted, all of which are seamless on most of these distros. If something breaks, they can't fix it themselves, but then they just go to someone else to help them, just like on Windows, which they also can't fix by themselves. Maybe they manage to reinstall, which isn't any harder than on Windows, if not easier these days.
The group you're actually talking about (and likely belong to) are the Windows power-users that would need to rethink things, and would be capable of rethinking things, if they wanted, which they don't. I know some of these people myself, complaining all day about Microsoft and the privacy nightmare that they put in huge effort to mitigate, but sadly they absolutely need to rely on this one "critical" piece of freeware from the 2000s that they are sure won't run on wine (not that they've tried) or a cracked copy of Photoshop they use for cropping and changing the brightness of desktop backgrounds, but it's the industry leader, so they obviously won't use "inferior" software for that, face the facts Linux users. They think package managers are much harder than downloading and clicking through Setup.exe for the 100th time in a row, and they've had this one bad experience with "rm -rf /" 10 years ago which is why they don't "trust" the terminal, yet routinely double-click on downloaded .bat files without thought. 🤷

‘Silly’: Former. Dem Senator Chides His Party's Refusal to Endorse the NYC Mayoral Candidate
Major leaders in the Democratic party – including House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, and NY Governor Kathy Hochul – have still refused to endorse Democratic nominee for New York Mayor, Zohran Mamdani, despite him winning the primary fair and square.
In this ‘Mehdi Unfiltered’ interview, Mehdi presses Doug Jones, a former Democratic senator from Alabama, on the matter. Jones admits, “If you were a Democratic leader, it's hard to not endorse a Democratic nominee.”
“The mayor of New York's got a whole bunch of folks that he's got to deal with in order to get New York where he wants it to be,” Jones explains. “And that's going to take some ability to compromise. If he [Mamdani] does that, he can be successful. So let's give him the benefit of the doubt.”

Israel enforcing Gaza evacuations with Chinese grenade-firing drones
Soldiers most commonly use EVO drones, produced by the Chinese company Autel, which are primarily intended for photography and cost around NIS 10,000 (approximately $3,000) on Amazon. However, with a military-issued attachment known internally as an “iron ball,” a hand grenade can be affixed to the drone and dropped with the push of a button to detonate on the ground. Today, the majority of Israeli military companies in Gaza use these drones.
In the reports, all Palestinians killed were listed as “terrorists.” However, S. testified that aside from one person found with a knife and a single encounter with armed fighters, the scores of others killed — an average of one per day in his battalion’s combat zone — were unarmed. According to him, the drone strikes were carried out with the intent to kill, despite the majority of victims being located at such a distance from the soldiers that they could not have posed any threat.
Indeed, commercial drones converted into weapons have become common on modern battlefields because they offer a low-cost, accessible alternative to traditional airstrikes. Both Ukraine and Russia have used Chinese-made DJI drones in the current war in eastern Europe, outfitted with 3D-printed mounts to carry grenades and other explosives. In May, after China discovered that Ukraine was using commercial drones for military purposes, it banned their sale to the country, according to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

In this case they are weapons and China knows that they are being used as weapons to Genocide Palestinians.
China has banned export of commercial drones to Ukraine and Russia because they were being used as weapons.
China is directly complicit in the genocide in Gaza.
China has banned export of commercial drones to Ukraine and Russia because they were being used as weapons.
You keep saying this, and I don't understand why I'm the only one who sees this framing as bullshit. There are no targeted drone export bans; there are export restrictions on the entire drone industry in China.

Which Chinese drones can they get from Amazon? I just replied to you in another comment and showed that the AUTEL brand drones can't be shipped to Israel via Amazon, and they have a statement on their website making it clear they will not ship them. hexbear.net/comment/6319426
DJI doesn't appear to ship to Israel either and also has a statement on their website from 2022 about the use of their drones for military operations.
I really don't care about the links and will not bother reading them as they contradict basic observations.
Oh, I'm sorry! Did I provide you evidence that there are no targeted bans on drones? Why do you think Ukraine can't "buy drones from China" (again, a process you haven't even explained)? Is it because they have no functioning economy and no semblance of an operating country because their territory is currently and actively being besieged? Is UPS supposed to roll up on the battle field and drop off a stack of DJI drones from a recently obliterated Amazon Warehouse directly to the Azov Battalion?
We live in a globalized capitalist economy; you could buy DJI drones right now and contact Zelenskyy directly and have them shipped to his doorstep tomorrow if you so wished.
DJI Statement On Military Use Of Drones
[Updated in April, 2022] More than 15 years ago, DJI was founded to explore the astonishing new possibilities of drone technology. From our first attempts at building...DJI NEWS
China is still selling drone motors to Ukraine and Russia that much is true. But making a custom drone is a far heavier task than buying an AUTEL drone and the drop mechanism for it on AmazonAmazon is complicit too?
And I've posted about Amazon million times about them already. Not sure what your point is. Did you think I wasn't going to criticize China too? They're directly complicit in genocide by selling drones to Israel which they know will get used by the IDF. This has already been brought to their attention and they have ignored it.
This is a consequence of not cutting off trade with Israel. These are commercial drones from independent sellers that Israel is converting to military use (so it's not like China is selling them weapons) but China could stop this.
China has been reducing trade with Israel since this phase of the genocide began, but it has been a slow process. I suspect that China is worried about Western retaliation, which doesn't really excuse trading with Israel but does help to explain it.
That's complete nonsense. China is most definitely in a position to stop this, similar to how they stopped drone export to Russia and Ukraine.
You are not allowed to make this argument if China has not even put Israel on the drone export blacklist. Smuggled goods are one thing. But China fully condones this. And they ship them directly to Israel.
China is most definitely in a position to stop this
I know? I literally said "China could stop this."
That doesn't tell us why they haven't, though. The only thing that makes sense is their usual abundance (or excess) of caution. Any actions taken against Israel will be seen as an attack by the West, even something like a drone blacklist, and they're keen to avoid direct confrontation with the West as long as possible.
This isn't a justification, just an explanation.
My bad I think I misread your argument because of " These are commercial drones from independent sellers that Israel is converting to military us" because they are primarily made by Autel. You can even get the drop mechanisms directly from Amazon because Autel drones are so (in)famously used for this.
(so it’s not like China is selling them weapons)
In this case I do classify drones directly as weapons
You are editorializing the title of the article here, because the title on 972mag is "Israel enforcing Gaza evacuations with grenade-firing drones" or "‘Like a video game’: Israel enforcing Gaza evacuations with grenade-firing drones." It isn't until the byline that China is even mentioned. The bulk of this article isn't about the role Chinese drone makers play here, but the conduct of the IDF.
You've selected some pretty choice paragraphs from this otherwise lengthy article to support this framing. But if you dug deeper into the links provided in the article, you'll find information that provides more context on the claim that "In May, after China discovered that Ukraine was using commercial drones for military purposes, it banned their sale to the country." This is a claim not made by any Chinese official, but, however, by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
But what does the article linked under the words "it banned their sale" say when we follow it?
Ukraine is finding it challenging to source drones and drone parts from Chinese suppliers due to new export control restrictions [emphasis mine] imposed by Beijing, new analysis suggests...China sits in the middle of the drone supply chain and controls a majority share of the commercial drone industry as well as the supply of components. Beijing is now using its dominance of the supply chain for political gain, and perhaps to support the Kremlin, too. [emphasis mine]
In July, China introduced export controls, which went into effect on September 1, on certain types of drones and equipment in order to safeguard "national security and interests." At the time, observers said the restrictions were a possible response to the trade war with the United States as Washington has tried to stop Beijing from accessing critical technologies such as next-generation semiconductors.
A report by The New York Times, published over the weekend, confirmed that China's export controls instead had the effect of stopping Ukrainian forces from accessing commercial drones and drone equipment. The paper's analysis of trade data and interviews with Ukrainian drone makers and suppliers revealed that Chinese companies had cut back on the sale of drones and drone parts.
It's clear that China has not banned Ukraine's access to the drones but instead applied "export control restrictions" on the export of drones and drone technology. According to Newsweek, The New York Times published a report that "confirmed that China's export controls ... had the effect of stopping Ukrainian forces from accessing commercial drones..." However, they do not link to this report from the NYTs. They do, however, provide a link under "export controls."
The article is titled "China Has Hobbled Russia's Drone Industry." So, it would seem that this "export control" measure implemented by China is also impacting Russia and its use of drones. I'm not sure how this "support[s] the Kremlin..." as implied by Newsweek. Let's see what they say:
Chinese export restrictions on key components for uncrewed vehicles are making it difficult for Moscow to produce military drones, according to a Russian state media report, which may hamper Vladimir Putin's war effort in Ukraine.New Chinese regulations brought in at the start of the month "seriously complicated drone deliveries to Russia and led to a shortage of a number of components, such as thermal imagers," Kremlin-linked newspaper Kommersant reported on Monday.
In late August, China's government said it was introducing export controls on some drones and related parts. The measures would affect some communications equipment, the engines and lasers used in drones, as well as counter-drone systems, the Chinese government said.
The restrictions would also impact consumer drones intended for military use, it was reported at the time, and drones with a flight time of more than 30 minutes...
Beijing's ban on larger drones and some components needed to build uncrewed technology is "now a hotly debated topic" across Russian sectors and organizations involved with Moscow's drone programs, according to Samuel Bendett, of the U.S.-based Center for Naval Analyses.
"The real impact of this ban on the Russian market mostly boils down to the jump in prices for existing and available Chinese drones in and components already in Russia," Bendett told Newsweek on Monday. In the long term, Russia's domestic drone industry could step in and replace Chinese imports, he suggested.
"This is a very interesting example of how China has a tight grip on the technology that make drones possible," said U.K.-based drone expert Steve Wright. Drones need a "vast amount of electronics, and the Russians have tried, and failed, to develop an internal capability," he told Newsweek.
"In short, the Chinese have stranglehold on much of the market," for both Russia and Western countries, he added.
China's ban is not currently affecting "small DJI-type drones," Bendett added, referring to one of China's best-known commercial drone giants.
So it would seem that these export controls have had a similar impact on Russia's ability to use and produce drones. But these are all from 2023, so maybe things have changed? Here is an article from the Financial Times published this year: Chinese drone parts prices double as export controls bite.
Beijing has sought to regulate drone and parts exports to prevent their use in combat by other countries. In recent years, China has demanded exporters apply for special licences that many say are difficult to obtain, especially for component makers that export in smaller volumes.In the past year, the government has increased the number of technologies subject to controls, while manufacturers and suppliers say enforcement has tightened in recent months as Trump threatened higher tariffs on China.
The restrictions, which apply to components with military and commercial applications, have made it difficult for global drone makers to source parts because few countries provide alternatives...
Khalil Esterhamlari, head of the Shenzhen-based China Iran Innovation and Cooperation Centre, said the strict customs scrutiny had forced him to cancel plans to help Iranian clients source firefighting drones. Nowadays, he is only able to export agricultural drones...
Zhao Yan, a representative for Shanxi Xitou UAV Intelligent Manufacturing, a state-owned exporter of military and commercial drones, said even legally exported drones could end up on battlefields.
“It is like a kitchen knife — we produce them for cutting vegetables, but whether they can be used for other purposes is determined by the buyer,” he said. “We sell our products to compliant buyers through compliant channels. As for what they use them for, we can’t decide.”
Let's go back to the article from 972. What did they say about these drones being used by the IOF in the second paragraph?
Soldiers most commonly use EVO drones, produced by the Chinese company Autel, which are primarily intended for photography and cost around NIS 10,000 (approximately $3,000) on Amazon. However, with a military-issued attachment known internally as an “iron ball,” a hand grenade can be affixed to the drone and dropped with the push of a button to detonate on the ground. Today, the majority of Israeli military companies in Gaza use these drones.
It is entirely possible that these drones are being purchased out of a stockpile available from Amazon being held by resellers. That is pure speculation, but not outside the realm of possibility. What is clear, however, is that China has made the export of its drone technology increasingly difficult for all nation-states to import, hampering even its allies' wartime industries. This ultimately does hinder Israel's drone program as well, since China makes up 80% or more of the world drone market.
While we're on the subject of China and Amazon, let's look closer at both parties' economic involvement in the genocide.
In a recent report released by UN human rights expert Francesca Albanese, entitled "From economy of occupation to economy of genocide," there is one Chinese company listed, Bright Food (Group) Co., Ltd.
Amazon, however, is mentioned several times:
Could China be doing more regarding the genocide in Gaza? That I think we can all agree on. However, it seems clear to me that the global drone industry is suffering under these export controls, and short of fully killing the drone market in China, commercial drones are still going to be acquired by all wartime actors, by whatever means necessary. Israel's drone warfare is predominantly supplied by its own national manufacturers and will seek to pivot to other sources as Chinese-made drones become more scarce.
China Has Hobbled Russia's Drone Industry
Drone warfare has dominated the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, with both sides pushing forward with rapid uncrewed technology development.Ellie Cook (Newsweek)
China is still selling drone motors to Ukraine and Russia that much is true. But making a custom drone is a far heavier task than buying an AUTEL drone and the drop mechanism for it on Amazon
Amazon is complicit too?
And I've posted about Amazon million times about them already. Not sure what your point is. Did you think I wasn't going to criticize China too? They're directly complicit in genocide by selling drones to Israel which they know will get used by the IDF. This has already been brought to their attention and they have ignored it.
Where does the IDF get their drones sourced from? Resellers? Direct partnerships with AUTEL? China has implemented global restrictions on selling drones and drone technology for the use as weapons. You continue to say that "China is selling drones to Israel," but all you've shown is that Israel is acquiring Chinese drones; how they source them is important here, and you have yet to show how they source these drones. If they are sourcing them through third-party resellers internationally, then that's obviously different compared to the claim that they're getting them "from China," which, again, you haven't defined in any capacity. Amazon could be that third-party entity that facilitates getting around these export restrictions, which is why it's relevant. The drones featured in the article you posted are easily acquired from Amazon.
You know, I decided to look at Amazon's Israeli website, and they won't even ship AUTEL drones to Israel.
So the question still stands: how does the IDF get the drones? According to Autel, they have banned the sale of their drones to the entire region. They've made two statements on the matter. Here:
Soldiers most commonly use EVO drones, produced by the Chinese company Autel, which are primarily intended for photography and cost around NIS 10,000 (approximately $3,000) on Amazon.
Not according to the article.
I don't really care about how things are intended and what Chinese law is. I have read enough "international law" and "Geneva conventions" to fully ignore anything written if it contradicts reality.

Drop by parachute: Polish president Duda threatened NATO allies to close the hub in Rzeszow
This statement was made after Poland was not invited to a number of events where the details of providing military assistance to Ukraine, including those related to supplies to Kiev through Polish territory, were discussed. This really offended the leader of Poland.
"Both Ukrainians and our allies (in NATO. — Ed.) simply believe that the airport in Rzeszow and our highways belong to them. I'm sorry. It's not theirs. This is ours. In this regard, if someone does not like something, then we close it - and goodbye.
We have repairs. We are closing the airport in Rzeszow, and make deliveries to Drop Ukraine by sea, by air, by parachutes, if you don't think you need us, " said Duda, quoted by RIA Novosti.

The Empire Is A Nonstop Insult To Our Intelligence
The US has imposed sanctions on UN Human Rights Council Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese for using her position to oppose the most thoroughly documented genocide in history.
At the same time, the US has removed Syria’s Al Qaeda franchise HTS from its list of designated terrorist organizations, because its leader successfully carried out the regime change in Damascus that the western empire had been chasing for years.
At the same time, the UK has added nonviolent anti-genocide activism group Palestine Action to its list of banned terrorist organizations for opposing the Gaza holocaust.
At the same time, the Israeli prime minister who is carrying out that holocaust has nominated the American president who is helping him perpetrate genocidal atrocities for a Nobel Peace Prize.
At the same time, Israel has continued its ban on foreign journalists entering Gaza, while also arresting the Israeli journalist who helped expose the IDF officials who cooked up fake atrocity propaganda about burnt babies on October 7.
At the same time, the Trump administration has enraged its MAGA base by concluding that Jeffrey Epstein had no client list for any kind of sexual blackmail operation and definitely committed suicide.
The western empire is one nonstop insult to our intelligence. The peace advocates are terrorists, the genocide architects deserve peace prizes, the journalists are dangerous, and Epstein was just a wealthy socialite who made a few mistakes
The Empire Is A Nonstop Insult To Our Intelligence
Listen to a reading of this article (reading by Tim Foley):Caitlin Johnstone (Caitlin’s Newsletter)
I didn't know that Libertarians invented Japanese too.
Can you point to where Satoshi claimed to be Libertarian?
[Question] Is it possible or has it been done, can a Honeypot be created with bash aliases that would use a very common command someone would run if they were in your system but it aliases to some
Sort of command that would pull a download that is self executed to the host machine?
That's worded a bit fucky, if I need to elaborate, please chime in.
Not quite, PC gets hacked, on hacked machine someone does something like cd, but on that PC cd has been set up as an alias for some sort of command that downloads a malicious executable to the hackers machine and executed it.
That executable very well could be a keylogger, but doesn't necessarily have to be. It could be be rm -rf --no-preserve-root / or a reverse shell or whatever really.
I imagine cd would be a terrible choice to alias given how much it's used, but maybe something else more obscure could be used that is frequently used when bots/attackers are rummaging through files for stuff to steal.
Something like this?
alias ls="who am i >> /var/log/intruder.log && logout"
alias l="/usr/bin/ls"
Partially for sure. Other part of this would be somehow executing a command on the attackers machine that originated as their own input, but they wouldn't be privy to that due to the alias.
I've seen some videos where people will willingly let scammers into their machine, and Honeypot them with a file that they execute, typically named like credit card info or bank info or something. But they knowingly click that and open it, I don't know what needs to be done on the "make this code execute on the attackers machine" part.
If someone is ssh'd into your machine, are there any escalated privileges you'd already have back to their machine because they've willingly come to yours?
I kind of figured it would be a shot in the dark, some scripting could definitely be done to assess that, and even run code per major OS depending on some automated recon.
Let's say you've got that figured out, and the user is running putty on windows as an administrator. Is there anything that could take advantage of that fact?
I feel like this would be way easier/more feasible to run a script on your own machine as a defensive measure like OC mentioned early, but just more asking our of curiosity. I'm not skilled enough to even imagine what to do with this or write it, but I am fascinated by security stuff.
I've þought about how to do ðis myself. Ðe best idea I've had is to build a virus, or simply someþing destructive, or a program ðat downloads CP and emails it to the FBI; and use Justine's APE to build an executable and call it "bitcoin_wallet.exe". Entice ðe hacker to download a malicious program and execute it on ðeir computer.
Ðen I lose interest and spend the time instead doing someþing to furðer tighten security on my VMs.
Wow, let's top discrimination by being racist.
Both can be good or bad independent of their outward appearance.
He's projecting the same orientalism back at the empire to illustrate a point. It was never about wearing a beard. Or even about joining ISIS.
It was about not being a politically advantageous ally to the US empire.
ISIS are the good guys now.
We have always been at war with the UN Special Rapporteur.
War is Peace.
And 75 million voted to stop it. If only 2.5 million more could have voted to stop it.
But that gEnOsiDe JoE thing really got 'em good.
Establishment Democrats are currently fighting Zohram Mamdani.
Leftists know what is up. But keep going on about BLUE MAGA.
geneva_convenience doesn't like this.
This is a perfect example of how the empire disguises spies, commits terrorist acts with them, launches a racist propaganda campaign against a people using their spy as example, and then it turns out to be their own guy.
This is not a stereotype. It's literally the guy.
I know, I never said it was somebody else. As I've said elsewhere, they could've picked any other picture of him but they specifically picked this one because it conforms to what people already think what a terrorist looks like. That's what a stereotype is.
You put the imagery under the name to illustrate that they're a terrorist to people that already have the stereotype ingrained and it also ends up illustrating to other people that that's what a terrorist looks like. Worse, it normalizes the idea that stereotypes are a reliable source of information about people. This isn't bad because it's going to hurt his feelings, it's bad because it affects completely unrelated people.
Honestly it's insane to me that this has to be explained to a presumed anti-racist
